iirc last weeks was repeated friday night at 8pm
good episode overall, purely on cars but dare i say it slightly boring?
anyone see how quickly the rs6 over took 3+ cars and a small lorry on that small straight

Yea it was a little boring, I think I prefer the pissing around more, but then I only started watching from series 6 onwards, so havent really seen the boring episodes all the old farts like before then.
The RS6 Gorgeous from every single angle, especially the one with the bonnet up

worst episode ever..................
Star in a reasonably priced car is getting dragged out to the point of being ridiculous, I think it was on for 10mins+ last night.
Evo/Impreza was a good section; RS6 could have been done better; the Stunt man section is utter shit and not entertaining - well nto enough to show slow-mo repaeats 4/5 times.
It feels like they're struggling to fill an hour so are packing i out with tripe

I think this too.
My missus said last night "that wasn't as good as last week" and I said "yes, because it's about cars and you prefer the laughs and 'entertainment'.

its not really that focused on cars though still is it? thats the problem tbh, you wont be able to cater for everyone which is what they try and do.
i liked the rs6 bit but whats the point in the skiiers? u know what will happen theyve done it so many times before which i think is where the problem lies, its so predictable. not to mention so many of the jokes have been used before, feels like there just trying to milk it now imo.
can we just drop the "star" in a reasonably priced car as well now, two guys from a bbc drama are "stars" i dont think so.
top gear wastes an hour but in general is becoming shite. (paul j)

I thought it was pretty rubbish too.
Evo bit was good. RS6 was exactly the same as all the other 'races'. Star car was too long with two people that Jeremy didn't even know. The news was so scripted it was boring and the stuntman is pathetic.
Much preferred the programme after

The in studio banter is just shit now, sounds way too scripted. Star in the car has always been shit, I always flick through that bit if i'm watching a recording of it. Car bits were good though, and the stuntman thing I just don't get it?

yeah it was a bit of a weak episode really.
I was disappointed that they didn't track the AMG Black at the end. Or give a reason why they didn't. Seemed odd.

Agreed, it seems to all be a bit old hat now and everything is extremely predictable, even the cool wall, jeremy putting cars high up etc etc. The scripting is ott and I seem to notice it all the time now. Last series imo.
